On May 13th, this horse recorded a turf trial over 1200m at Conghua, leading and returning with an average speed. Two months ago in the same distance race, the performance was poor; he jumped slowly and settled towards the rear, maintaining a steady pace but lacking a finishing burst. Following a short break, one barrier trial was completed, but it wasn’t a sufficient workout. He has dropped 21 pounds in body weight and is stepping up in class this time. He carries an 18-pound deduction in this race but faces unfavorable competition within the group. Even with prior records at this distance, securing a good position tracking the leaders and drawing an inside barrier may not be enough for success here.
